An old friend of mine recently died & left me his car, a Merc. E320 petrol, 03 reg.auto.
It;s immaculate & only done 51k
Trouble is I'm a pensioner & already have a TF 160, but that's done 116k & I've spent a lot on it.
Performance is roughly the same but the running costs of the Merc. are about double that of the TF.
They are completely different cars & I appreciate the good points of both & am loath to sell either of them.
We also have a Xsara diesel for a run around, which is the only car SWMBO will drive.
I'm going to keep both for probably a year but will then have to make a decision ;) BTW I am 77.

The Merc is a nice car, but you know the answer you're going to get on here!

I've had a good look at the E320 and I'd stay with your TF tbh. I don't think the Merc will be an upgrade in terms of fun factor. OK for the occasional mafia hit job and funeral attendance but the TF is a better car in my opinion of course.

Up to you though, i know which one is probably worth more and the one which you know the history of. The Merc will be made better.

Plus you'll almost certainly get a much better price for the Merc. :yesnod:
